Justin Bieber URL Shortener Gets Lawyered
It was hot while it lasted.
Picture this. You're a teenage girl or boy and a die-hard Justin Bieber fan. You've found ways to integrate him into almost every aspect in your life including a shower radio and rubber duck that looks just like him. This URL shortener (Justin Bieber-inspired URL shortener) gave you more of your idol by shortening your addresses to bieber.ly. Plus, you would see a picture of his on the webpage every time you shortened. Sounds pretty neat eh?
You know you love him
Apparently the Bieber camp didn't think so. They ordered a 'Cease and Desist' on the website, after which it had to shut down. Which really is a pity since the idea is kinda ingenious. Hopefully they'll come to their senses and take back the order.

She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
